>>READ THIS   !!!!!!!! AND MONEY WILL BE YOURS   !!!!!!!!!!! 
>>-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>>Article Wrote by Crish Weber
>>
>>   "As you most probably have seen, the latest opportunity to make lots 
>>
>>of money is sweeping the internet. If you want to partake in a perfectly 
>>
>>legal opportunity to make up $50,000 in 4-6 weeks read on. 
>>
>>   Skeptics keep reading. Keep an open mind. You're intelligent if
>>
>>you're skeptical. This process works because of the formula. The
>>
>>formula will make this pay.
>>
>>   This article will explain how to go about getting involved. If you 
>>
>>already know and just want to use the addresses please do. Those of you 
>>
>>who are new and have a mere $5.00 to invest read this entire article 
>>
>>carefully. 
>>
>>   I am just an average person who enjoys the internet, and making 
>>
>>money. For months now I have been bombarded with this quick money 
>>
>>making opportunity and have always passed it off as being a scam. Now 
>>
>>I find that I really could use the money and it will be fun too. So I 
>>
>>said to myself even if it is a scam all I lost was $5.00, 5 envelopes 
>>
>>and postage. I can cover that, and if it works, my life we'll all be a 
>>
>>lot better off. So lets begin... 
>>
>>First,
>>
>>Print this article now so you can refer to it as needed. What you need 
>>
>>to do is send $1 to each of the five addresses listed below. Get five 
>>
>>pieces of paper and on each one write: PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING 
>>
>>LIST, YOU ARE NUMBER X (Their number in this article). Place $1 in each 
>>
>>of those letters so that they cannot be seen if letter is held up to the 
>>
>>light. Mail each letter with this comment and the $1 to the following 
>>
>>five people.
>>
>>
>>
>>1. J. Raymond, P.O. Box 57, Lewiston, ME 04243 USA
>>
>>2. B. Arning, 215 Ave. E  #903, Galveston, TX  77550
>>
>>3. D. Mooney, 8037 Swampflower Dr. Jacksonville, Fl 32244 USA
>>
>>4. Gustavo Fialho Praceta de Angola n-15 6dt 2800 Almada, Portugal
>>
>>5. G. Howe, 2330 Paseo De Laura, Oceanside, CA 92056
You then place YOUR NAME at the #5 slot and move everybody up one (ie 
>>
>>#5 becomes #4, #4 becomes #3 and so on. The #1 that is listed in this 
>>
>>article will be removed completely because they have already been 
>>
>>through the cycle). 
>>
>>   Now post the article to 200 newsgroups minimum (instructions will 
>>
>>follow on how to post). That is all folks. No kidding!! Now within 
>>
>>7 days you will start getting money in the mail. 
>>
>>   It is shocking. My first week I made $28. By the end of the second 
>>
>>week I had over $1,000!! THe third week resulted in over $10,000! And 
>>
>>now after four weeks I have made nearly $42,000!!! I am laughing as I 
>>
>>write this because I still can't believe this. 
>>
>>   HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS Out of every 200 postings, lets say I only 
>>
>>receive 5 replies (which is very low). So that means I made $5 when my 
>>
>>name was #5. Hey I broke even. Now say each of those 5 people post to 
>>
>>200 newsgroups, now with your name at #4, which is a total of 1,000 
>>
>>postings, excluding your 200. At the same rate 50 people now send you
>>1$.
>>
>>Another free $50!! These 50 people each post to 200 groups with your
>>
>>name at #3, thats 10,000 postings! Average return is 500 at $1 each =
>>$500
>>
>>for you. Those people make 200 postings each which leads to $5,000. And
>>
>>finally 5000 people make 200 postings with YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1. THATS 
>>
>>A POTENTIAL RETURN OF $50,000!!!! NOW YOUR NAME DROPS OFF THE LIST. 
>>
>>THIS IS THE RESULTS
>>
>>   IF ONLY 5 PEOPLE RESPOND TO EACH 200 POSTINGS. IF EVERYONE
>>POSTED TO
>>
>>MORE THAN 200 WHO KNOWS WHAT THE POTENTIAL RETURN COULD BE. So
>>have fun, 
>>
>>be honest. Remember, even if you get nothing, you only lost $5. And as
>>the
>>
>>old saying goes..."You can't win if you don't play" While I still have
>>your
>>
>>attention let me explain how to post to at least 200 newsgroups. 
>>
>>   Mind you it will only work if you follow the instructions exactly. If 
>>
>>you put you name on the list without sending out the money, you will not 
>>
>>see significant results. By sending the money you are distributing your 
>>
>>name to those already in the cycle who then may choose your name when
>>they 
>>
>>start a new cycle with 5 new random names. If you are honest you will be
>>
>>rewarded. Thats a promise! 
>>
>>
>>
>>

>>Steve Boltinghouse was an much earlier participant in this process.
>>Adapted article from Steve Boltinghouse:
>>
>>  Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life. The
>>Internet 
>>has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months. think about
>>it. 
>>You see those 'Make.Money.Fast' posts more and more. That's ... because
>>it 
>>WORKS ! 
>>
>>   So I thought, all those new users might make it work. And I decided 
>>to try it out, a few months ago. Besides, whats $5.00, I spend more than 
>>that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day. So
>>I 
>>sent in my money and posted. Everyone was calling it a scam, but there
>>are 
>>SO many new users from AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it
>>work 
>>for you. 
>>
>>   Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail! I 
>>couldn't believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first only
>>a 
>>few hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM. 
>>By the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly $47,000.00. 
>>
>>   It came from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal 
>>and on the up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still 
>>had enough left over for a nice vacation for me and my family. 
>>
>>   Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. 
>>Markus Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning claims he 
>>made $53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only 
>>$17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they say 
>>they did it, it made sense to me. 
>>   
>>   Enough sense that I'm taking a similar chance with $5 of my own
>>bucks. 
>>Not a big chance, I admit--but one with incredible potential, because $5
>>is 
>>all anyone ever invests in this system. Period. That's all Markus, Dave, 
>>or Dan invested, yet their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars 
>>each, in a safe, legal, completely legitimate way. 
>>
>>   Here's how it works in 3 easy steps: 
>>
>>   STEP 1. Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on 
>>five seperate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO
>>YOUR 
>>MAILING LIST." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to
>>someone; 
>>you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or 
>>bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the 
>>five addresses listed earlier.  
>>
>>   STEP 2. Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other 
>>names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name in as the 
>>fifth one on the list. 
>>
>>   STEP 3. Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at
>>least 
>>19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many 
>>newsgroups as you can. Remember the more groups you post to, the more 
>>people will see your article and send you cash! 
>>
>>   STEP 4. You are now in business for yourself, and should start 
>>seeing returns within 7 to 14 days! 
>>
>>   Remember, the Internet is new and huge. There is no way you can 
>>lose. Now here is how and why this system  works: Out of every block 
>>of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses. Yes, thats right,only 5. 
>>You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money orders, but real cash with 
>>your name at #5. Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also
>>makes 
>>250 additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On average 
>>then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4,....$50.00 in 
>>your pocket! Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with 
>>your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500. 
>>They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000 postings=5000 
>>returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash! 
>>
>>   Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at #1 
>>and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off the list. And 
>>that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250 postings each! Your 
>>total income for this one cycle is $55,000. 
>>
>>   From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, 
>>you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again. The 
>>end result depends on you. You must follow through and repost this
>>article 
>>everywhere you can think of. The more postings you make, the more cash 
>>ends up in your mailbox. 
>>
>>   It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!! 
>>
>>   So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it 
>>works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all day, 
>>all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net every day. You 
>>know that, you've seen the stories in the paper. 
>>
>>   So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play fair. 
>>Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out right now so 
>>you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep an eye on all 
>>the postings you made to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know 
>>where your name should be. 
>>
>>   If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then 
>>don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone 
>>you know who really needs the bucks, and see what happens. 
>>
>>   REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT
>>THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS! GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY
>>FAIR AND YOU WILL WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH! 
>>
>>*** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages 
>>with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people 
>>already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this and 
>>only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent the 5 
>>bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over 
>>$10,000! TRY IT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!! :o) !!!!!!!!!!
